Turkey’s Supreme Electoral Board, or YSK, will not announce the official results of the June 12 elections until either Wednesday or Thursday, necessitating a delay in the parliamentary oath-taking ceremony for victorious deputies, Hurriyet Daily News reports.
The Electoral Board's President, Ali Em, said on Monday that the official results of the June 12 elections, which were won by the
ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), would be made public on either Wednesday or Thursday. Parliament will convene five days after the Electoral Board’s official announcement of the election results and Parliament is likely to convene on June 27 or 28 so that the newly-elected deputies can take their oaths.
The Electoral Board had been expected to announce the results earlier.
